unspeakablehorrorRecently made my own corn tortillas with my own TVP faux taco meat. I started making my own tortillas a while back and hugely prefer these to storebought tortillas. The problem is that ever since I storted making my own corn tortillas I've been generally unwilling to go back to storebought ones, but making them requires a certain amount of time and energy from me that I may not always have.
Restaurant tortillas can be good but I don't go to restaurants anymore and though I'm not averse to just getting takeout and reheating stuff delivery services tend to be both extra unethical and expensive and I'd rather not go into a restaurant to order myself.
So another convenience spoiled by vastly superior home cooking, I guess. Anyway, you definitely shouldn't judge corn tortillas by the storebought ones, which are anything from mediocre to absolutely terrible. Anything that isn't cooked fresh (ie homemade or made fresh by a restaurant) is merely a sad imitation of a tortilla. Also if you can make your own homemade tortillas you can make all sorts of different variations with different color corn meal and different spices and bits of different peppers in them and whatnot.
